Should I buy Niva Travel? User opinions

The updated Niva is of interest to different audiences. After all, you can take a good crossover at a price of 700 thousand. Given the legacy of the previously released version, it is understood that the patency here is good by default.

If the chassis, energy-intensive suspension and steering are all OK, then there are many questions about the engine. 80 hp is not serious. Let's say it's enough for off-roading. But on the highway this car, which has the word "travel" in its name, drives extremely leisurely and is not suitable for traveling. Acceleration to 120 is real from a hill, you need to catch the car on the road. It seems to be a new car, but in spirit and stuffing it remained in the seventies of the last century. And expecting a modern engine, apparently, is stupid.

But if you need to drive on gravel, country roads and other not-so-suitable roads, the car shows itself in all its glory. This is an SUV, but in terms of cross-country ability it is closer to full-fledged jeeps than most competitors.

Comments from motorists with experience:

Everyone writes what a Niva is bad and slow. Let's compare with the Far Eastern icon and a direct competitor (it is, however, twice as expensive) Suzuki Jimny
The speed is almost the same. Why don't you write what a shitty car Jimny is?
By the way, he chatters and brings him at speed!

That's right! Half of the Japanese SUVs are no better than the Niva in terms of power-to-weight ratio. Before buying the Patriot, I drove a diesel Pajero 2 with a 4m41 diesel engine and it really didn’t drive more than 120 km, and there wasn’t enough diesel for off-road.

Roman agrees.

It's Shniva that can't be 120? Maybe 140! By the speedometer. I assume that the device podvirat in a big way. But overclocking is definitely not her. In fairness, I’ll say that the SUV from it is not very good. Stock, no blocking bridges.

A normal SUV, for people who use the car for personal purposes and with their head. Riding with a crowd is good when there is someone to pull you out. In one car, even a tricked-out jeep can end the ride with a hike for by tractor.

Everything is as usual. Motor slag, everyone knows that. Do not forget that the engine is followed by raw meat in gearboxes, axle shafts. They can't handle more power. Suffer gentlemen.

Do they buy Niva to drown in the mud? This is an assistant car to drive where you feel sorry for a foreign car. Through the forest for mushrooms, to the beach, to fishing, to drive through the mud when there is no other way.
